Definitions

  • the present invention is in the field of hardfacing and providing wear or corrosion resistance to industrial equipment. Background of the Invention
  • Hardfaced plate is a product manufactured to resist the abrasion of bulk materials such as earth, rock, ores, and other silicious materials. It is used in the construction and the protection of fabrications of many kinds.
  • It consists of a base plate of any suitable analysis which has been weld overlaid with an alloy which contains typically up to 40% chromium carbide.
  • the overlay can contain several types of chromium carbides. Only the primary type of carbide has the high abrasion resistance needed to make this product outwear other overlays or hard metals of a low cost type. This is identified by the formula M 7 C- j where M is an alloy of iron and chromium.
  • Common mild steel plate is used as the base plate for nearly all manufacture of this product as it is sufficient to supply whatever strength and shock resistance are needed and is most cost effective.
  • the preferred method of manufacture uses the bulkweld process wherein alloy powder and wire are melted together in a welding arc and simultaneously welded to the base plate while melting an amount of base plate to obtain a weld bond, such as set forth in U.S. Patent No. 3,076,888.
  • Other patents illustrating hardfacing are U.S. Patent Nos. 3,000,094; 3,060,307; 3,062,948; 3,407,478; 3,494,749; 3,513,288; 3,517,156; 3,588,432; and 3,609,292.
  • the overlay is made by welding, it is not capable of precise parameters. There will be a typical variance between melting of about 20% or less base metal on the one hand and a lack of bond (no melted base metal) on the other hand. With lack of bond the overlay can break off, and with the heavier melting of base metal there is dilution of the overlay material with iron with the result that the type of carbides formed are low in abrasion resistance. In prior art processes, over 15% melted base material is not acceptable.
  • the welding parameters are critical within a narrow range. Because of the nature of a welding process, the operation is difficult to control within that range. A relatively small heat input above the desired level will cause greater base metal melting and undesirable structure while a relatively small reduction in current will cause lack of bond allowing the overlay to break off.
  • the base metal is intentionally melted and intentionally forms part of the alloy surface being produced. This insures bonding of the alloy surface to the base, and the metal supplied from the metal base to be part of the alloy produced is of much lower cost than that supplied by the electrode wire.
  • the arc which does the melting and the iron required of the alloy facing are supplied by steel (iron) electrode (wire) continuously fed by automatic welding equipment.
  • the carbide or corrosion resistant forming elements required and the other elements needed are supplied by powder metered into the weld zone in a precalculated ratio to the amount of wire used. As these elements fuse and mix in the weld puddle, they together produce the desired facing alloy.
  • a larger current is needed than in current overlay welding.
  • a greater amount of base metal is melted, but the greater current overloads the electrode wire (3/32") and causes it to melt very fast and thus still supply most of the iron needed in the weld.
  • the present invention utilizes the bulk welding process such as disclosed in U.S. Patent No. 3,402,459, but a major part of the iron required in the overlay is the melted base plate rather than the electrode, and the carbide structure or corrosion resistance needed is produced by adding those elements needed to form that structure in the resulting iron rich weld puddle.
  • Electrode melting is a function of polarity, current at the arc, and electrode preheating before it reaches the arc.
  • the electrode preheat is a function of the current, the resistance of the electrode (wire) , and the time of heating.
  • the electrode size is increased. This does two things: It decreases the resistance to lessen the preheat, and it provides a larger cross section at the arc to decrease current density on the electrode and thus lower electrode melting rate.
  • the needed extra alloy is provided by adding only the kind and amounts of elements actually needed to produce the primary carbide structure at a 4-5% carbon level in the deposit in hardfacing. This avoids having to manage and melt an over-large bulk of powder with the difficulties it produces in welding.
  • any combination of parameters which cause from about 35% to about 80% by weight of the combined metal of electrode and weldable base metal (almost always iron) to be supplied by the melted base metal meets the requirements for the present invention.
  • at least 50% of the metal of the combined base metal and the electrode required to produce the overlay alloy is the weldable base material.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of a bulk welding process in which the quality of the abrasion or corrosion resistant facing is improved to provide an assured weld bond in which the speed or rate of application of the facing applied is increased and in which the cost of materials and labor is decreased.
  • a further object of the present invention is to produce the highest levels of primary carbides while drawing up at least one-half of the iron required in the hardfacing from melted base metal.
  • a further object of the present invention is to produce hardfacings in which the desired thickness is in its more inexpensive form and to eliminate the problems as between missed bond on the one hand and excessive dilution on the other that are inherent in the present state of the art processes.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of an abrasion or corrosion resistant surface, such as abrasion resistant plate, in which preferably at least 50% of the metal of the base material and the electrode used to produce the overlay alloy will come from the base material.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of a hardfaced or corrosion resistant surface welded to a weldable base material, such as hardfaced plate, in which about 35% to about 80% by weight of the metal of the base metal and the electrode is supplied by the base metal.
  • a further object of the present invention is the provision of an abrasion resistant alloy surfaced plate which has a primary carbide structure at a 4-5% carbon level in the deposited alloy.
  • the method of this invention of hardfacing or corrosion resistant facing a surface of weldable base material comprises creating an electric arc with a consumable electrode between the surface of the weldable base material to form a weld puddle in the base while depositing and melting a predetermined quantity of alloy forming particles in the weld puddle so that at least about 35% to about 80% by weight and preferably at least one half of the iron based material required in the final weld provided by the weldable base metal and the electrode is the weldable base metal.
  • a major part, such as at least 50% by weight of the iron required in the overlay supplied by the base metal and the electrode is melted base plate rather than electrode.
  • the alloy structure, such as carbide structure, or the corrosion resistant structure needed is produced by adding only those elements, which include some iron to form that alloy structure in the resulting iron rich weld puddle.
  • the electrode preheat is a function of the current, the resistance of the electrode or wire, and the time of heating.
  • the electrode size that is its cross sectional area, is increased. This does two things: It decreases the resistance to lessen the preheat, and it provides a larger cross section at the electric arc to decrease current density on the electrode and thus lower electrode melting rate.
  • the extra alloy is provided by adding only the kind and amounts of elements actually needed to produce the hardfacing or abrasion resistant structure, for example, a primary carbide structure of about 4-5% carbon level in the deposit. In this manner having to manage and melt an over large bulk of powder with the difficulties it produces in welding is avoided.
  • the electrical current rate to the electrode averages about 15.7 kw for an electrode or wire having a 3/32 inch diameter and a current density of 66195 amperes per square inch of electrode cross section.
  • the heat input rate to the electrode can be 24.5 kw with a current density of 57000 amperes per square inch of electrode cross section.
  • the larger cross section at the arc decreases the preheat and current density on the electrode and thus provides a lower electrode melting rate and more base metal melting. While current densities over 57000 amperes per square inch of electrode cross section will melt more base metal, it also melts more electrode.
  • Example l In this example the following input parameters are for present state of art manufacture of hardface plate in the open arc mode.
  • the overlay weld was made in which the target percents were 62% of the input to the weld was powder and 38% was wire. After losses and allowances for up to 15% dilution by the base metal, the final target overlay content was as follows:
  • This target content in the overlay gave a primary carbide content of approximately 40% by weight.
  • Example 2 In this example the input parameters were for the production of hardface plate in accordance with this invention in open arc mode. Listed below in Table 3 are the input parameters.
  • the overlay weld was made in which the target percents were 41% of the input to the weld was powder, 26% of the weld was electrode, and 33% of the weld was fused based metal.
  • Example 3 In this example, the input parameters were for the production of a corrosion resistant surface in accordance with this invention in sub arc mode. Listed below is Table 5.
  • the electrodes or wire may be in generally circular cross section or may be strips or may be in tubes. Any desired facing or cladding materials can be utilized.
  • the electrode is fed substantially normal to the surface to be faced and supported by automatic or semiautomatic welding of any known and available type in which the feed of the electrode is held substantially constant at a predetermined rate so that a predetermined quantity of electrode is deposited and melted. Similarly, a predetermined quantity of the alloy forming elements is deposited and melted in the weld base puddle.
  • the welding may be open mode or submode, such as covered with flux which is readily available on the market.
  • the method can be used for cladding surfaces or making plate with a cladded surface in which the plate is secured to a surface to be cladded.
  • any desired alloy composition can be made according to the invention.
  • representative alloy compositions which can be made according to the invention are set forth in U.S. Patent Nos. 3,000,094; 3,076,888; 3,407,478; 3,494,749.
  • the alloy composition can have a cracked pattern such as disclosed in the last two patents mentioned above.
